CW: 420, image of a cannabis plant
Guess I don’t need a jewelers loupe to see if my weed is ready to harvest anymore (just playing around with macro mode on my new iPhone 15).

CW: Weeeed
Question for the #homegrow crowd: Where do you dry your harvest? (Assuming dry trimming I guess.)
I'm considering just using the lung room, but that seems sketchy. The room humidity is OK even in the rain, and I can rig lines behind the tent, but... :rickuh:
I've only got one tent, so using it means all 3 plants have to harvest at once. (My first attempt was almost all larf because we're clueless about training, and also we had to harvest the whole plant at once. We couldn't finish off the lower buds because we needed the tent for drying.)

The #weedlings (now turned to #tweeds) are in school! Not really, but today it turned to fall in the tent. We've still got two Cheetah Piss and two Duct Tape, all from legalization day seeds. Both pics are in the new light, but the #espcam is better at filtering the red.
It turns out that the heat wave outside is not as helpful as I had expected. Lung room is warm, tent is hot but plants are ok.
I did a bit of pruning a few days back, but they weren't trained properly so it's no proper lollypop grow. (Only my second try, after all.)
No nutes since I'm on happy frog.
Criticism welcome.

This week in #weedling news, there was a mishap with my carefully prepared nutrient stripped and sterilized soil. 😿 Instead the weedlings are waiting for Monday's transplant as soon as the truck drops off some Happy Frog. Silver lining, I managed to get all 4 over the dry-soil hump finally, and the sensors work!
Should I do anything about pre-treating the soil? I'm in a hurry to repot but I don't want to spend another grow fighting those stupid gnats and maybe aphids again. (That was different but comparable soil, now lost to the geraniums.) I've got neem and DE still but it is such a suck to start off fighting like that.
I'm going for 3 gal fabric, with a bunch of clay pellets mixed into the bottom couple of inches, then dump the mycorrhiza on the old soil and inside the hole. A few hours after move-in they get a proper ph check and maybe a touch more water. And I have until tomorrow to figure out their next training.

Today's #weedling update: Two needed some extra water yesterday, and I still need to number the pots. While I was in there I moved the camera and lights up again (check the fun new angle!)
Annoyingly, the two dry sensors did not align with the two lightest pots. So that is fun. I'll number them after sunset tonight and maybe something will stand out from the graphs in the morning. (Next option is to move the sensors during the next watering and see if it gets better.)
I still need to build my light sensors, since the soil sensors are under the canopy. I don't know that I actually need them, but I am still a little paranoid. On the last grow, the lights went super unreliable as soon as I flipped to flower. I've replaced that piece, but I want those sensors. (And the sensor controller can also manage some auto-water pumps..)

CW: mentions weed growing but also normal veg and 3d printing
#Weedlings got topped yesterday and seem very happy about it. (I also moved the light up a bit. It will only get dimmer as they get bigger anyway.)
More of my dashboard than usual here. It still needs work but I use it. (Those thresholds on the plant card are questionable at best, but that is OK because so are the sensors..)
On the #hydrotower front, we ate the fancy half-cucumber. It was fucking delicious, but only enough to garnish 2 side salads. Coincidentally, a second fem flower has started swelling up. My cucumber machine is .. slow, but steady. Slow.
Tower is a hard lesson in several aspects of #3dprinting. It is super hard to waterPROOF something, esp without post-processing. And I'm getting fatigue-related sagging that is gonna be a Big Problem eventually. Plus water just doing water things in a naive design (cutouts cause it to 'flip' forward, stuff like that..)

#weed grow advice wanted! Is there a grow app or plan or similar structure that you like? I need something to keep me more honest than "feels like a water day" and also reminds me to train and trim and such.
I saw grow with jane, which seems like the best I'm gonna get from mass market. Is there something better? It isn't a complicated grow, just the #weedlings in sterile soil under LEDs, with GH supplements.

Yesterday the #weedlings got Fitbits (ok, #miflora, but they don't know the difference) and I spent a bunch of time arguing with a plant API instead of just inputting my decent-enough values from last time.
Part of the arguing involved removing the old devices. A smart person would have saved the thresholds, but I'm not that person. Doh!
Pics tomorrowish when I get back to it and build the dash.
Today was supposed to be offline, so I spent it integrating #calico and #k3s and #linkerd and such in the new #homelab. I .. am bad at not being burnt out.
Some good news. Changes involved a cluster CIDR change, so I had to reset from zero. Thank FSM for flux2. I expected pain and it basically Just Worked.

Today's #weedling and #hydrotower combo update:
The tower is waiting for Cal-Mag because @WordenPond is brilliant. (It also explains what keeps happening to our squashes in the yard.) Other than the deficiency, it is doing OK and the one cucumber continues to grow in it's odd gherkin-water-balloon way. Lots of male flowers but only a few fem still. 🤞
The weedlings are happy, and I finally found the spare #switchbot switch to replace the #securifi peanut on their grow light. That should make it MUCH more reliable.
The securifi plugs do have some serious bugs, but once set up they were generally reliable for years. Recently they have been suffering the increasing instability in the #homeassistant #zigbee2mqtt stack, exacerbated with HA's visceral hatred of "retry that obviously failed command". I'll likely reuse them in places where on/off is less critical, or as always-on power sensors.

I saw the #weedlings before sunrise and they wanted to wave hello to all their #homegrow fans! (Or maybe they wanted me to deal with the fan that is pushing them around. I'm new at this and don't speak fluent weedling yet.)

#weedlings moved to bigger accomodations. Been warm in there today but not enough to hurt them. Tons of good roots under the seedling tray.
I also moved the world's saddest tomato from the #hydrotower to soil. Hopefully it survives.

The other day I posted some cool research about olive leaf and Covid. I’m going to write a blog post about it soon. But at the time I was looking for decent olive pictures in my phone and couldn’t find any easily. Today I took some.
